Hfst is a compiler for finite state transducers. The best documentation for writing such transducers is still Beesley and Karttunen (2003): Finite State Morphology. There still are some important differences between Hfst and the compilers described in the B&K book.
The Hfst subprograms
Hfst consists of a large number of smaller programs, with different functions:
- hfst-calculate
- hfst-compare
- hfst-compose
- hfst-compose-intersect
- Perform intersecting composition on two transducers (typically the morphotactic transducer/lexicon and the morphophonological transducer)
- hfst-concatenate
- hfst-conjunct
- hfst-determinize
- hfst-diff-test
- hfst-disjunct
- hfst-duplicate
- hfst-foma-wrapper.sh
- hfst-format
- hfst-fst2fst

- hfst-invert
- Turn a transducer upside down.
- hfst-lexc
- Compile a lexc file into a finite-state transducer
- hfst-lexc2fst
- hfst-lookup
